It's not just a simple regular coffee, right. There's a few extra shots
that are in there. There's a little bit of extra burn, a little
extra flavor, a little extra concentrate in the quality that is brewed with you and use that all metaphorically speaking, but literal. You know, the value

Thank you so much. Brother. Now you are in the club.
You are official. You just learned a secret handshake solutionaries. Mount up,
brother, We're excited. We have five questions we love to ask every one
of our guests, and these five questions really get us excited because I think it really dives into how to be successful and even though things happened, how to still be successful. Right. We're in the middle of some people would
call an economic crisis, right, and but some of us don't feel that.
Some of us actually look forward to it because which shows that we are great. We know how to do it. We've navigated through this. You've
been in this business long enough, you've seen these roller coasters, right, but you've always been able to find ways to be the cream that rises to the top. So the first question, I love to ask people. It's
an important question. Is your why, your purpose? What drives you,
what makes you get up every day and say gas pedal, baby, let go of that break. Okay, I'm not trying to get you know,
scared nobody. But my why is different and it's changed over the years.
When I was twenty one years old, I had to provide for a young family. You know. I started in the business September fifth, two thousand.
I was married July seventh, two thousand, and I had my first son. I took a third two thousand. So my whole life started,
you know, twenty two years ago in the car business. So my why
was to revive for that family, you know. And then later through life
I had more kids and different things, and I want to put them in good school. So the why was like, let me, let me be
successful, so I couldn't get them the best. I didn't have the greatest
childhood. It was downright and terrible, you know. I barely made it
out alive. And so when I had kids, I wanted to be a
different I wanted to do things different, you know. At thirty five years
old, I received a terminal cancer diagnosis, very rare form of cancer.
There's no cure. I can't. I won't be ringing a bell in a
hospital that I be cancer. I will always have this until the day I
die. So I take medication to keep it at bay. Over the years,
we switched a few different medications. I'm currently on a trial. That's
that's where this white hair comes from. But I feel great and I'm healthy.
So my why Since thirty five when I received that cancer diagnosis, I had a one year old little baby girl, and so man, I want to walk her down the eye, you know. So I want to live
my life in the manner I want to try to be as healthy as I could be doing about the doctors tell me be as positive as I could be.
Be prayerful about the situation. So you can be prayerful, or you
can have faith, but you also gotta believe, you know, you gotta like you know, you gotta act on that faith. Pay Dealers, Car
Guy, Coffee Podcast, and Certified Solutionaries are honored to be part of team.
Thank you. The solutions they've been brewing for you to acquire more vehicles,
advertise merchandise, and manage those vehicles has made them one of the most sought after dealer partners in the marketing. They are one of the other percent
CGC it proved and when you visit them at NQU dot com, you'll see a whole hill of beans worth the reasons why tea bank let's prove. So
My why every day is to do as best as I can to have a lifestyle that that man I can make it to walking her down the aisle one day, you know, And then you know, I want to live life to the fullest while I'm here. I want I want my roses today.
I don't want my roses at the funeral because I won't be able to smell them. So I make sure I have good conversations with people. I make
sure I go to lunch with people. I make sure that my time is
meaningful, you know, because I don't know, we all don't know when we're gonna we're gonna go. But my I have an actual expiration date,
you know. I know it's coming, you know, and so my wife
is. You know, It's it's really really deep, you know what I'm
saying. I want to I want to have a lifestyle to where I can
really enjoy my family, my kids, you know, my friends. And
then but also I want to make it to her wended, you know, I want to walk her down that down the aisle, you know. So
I have two sons, they're twenty two and eighteen. They're young men,
so it's not gonna affect them as much, you know, But that's my wife. So that that's what gets me out to bed, That's what gets
me going, That's what keeps me positive. That that what keeps me as
an overcomer, you know, because like, man, I don't see myself as dying. Look, that's what the doctors say, but I don't.
I don't take that report, you know. So that's my wife, right
man. The way that we get to see it where we are, Bruce,
is that we are each inside of the same day. We're each sharing
the same day together. And that is something to give great praise for.
That's something to give great thanks for. Live with abundant gratitude so that we
can say thank you for today, and let me be trusted for tomorrow.
Let me make it to tomorrow. But I have today, thank you,
right, And that's something that you're taking advantage of. And man, how
inspirational is that? Car? Guys? That there is so much that's poured
into one day that he gets to every day say this is getting me closer to the aisle, this is my why, this is what I'm shooting for.
And in that, so many people get to prosper from it, so many people get to grow from that, so many people get to be blessed.
And hopefully you're being blessed if you are. Give me a coffee cup
emoji in all out there right now. You know, we appreciate you.
See so many great comments. Bruce's phenomenal obviously, that's why we have him
on the show. What do you feel about that? I mean, the
abundance that there is inside of value to have somebody like you to just to learn from and lean into and watch is beneficial for everybody. The thing is
is your hand on the plow all the time, you know what I mean?
In order for somebody to watch you do what is that you do, they gotta watch you do it while you're doing it. And you have some
of the great mentors inside of the automotive industry right now pouring into you.
How important is it for you as you're constantly pouring out I mean, you're trying to squeeze the sponge dry every day, right, every life, I squeeze into this day. I'm pouring it out. And but you have others
that are pouring into you also. How important is it for you to have
the Glen Lundy's in your life and all of these other people pouring into you?
How valuable is that right now, especially as you're trying to jump to next levels. You can't put a price that you go on, you know,
to be to have people that have blazed trails that you're trying to go down right, and to have them like lead you and to see the example.
Look, I was a GSM. I don't know, we don't talk
about money a lot in car business, but I'll talk about money. I
was making thirty forty thousand dollars a month at thirty three, thirty four years old GSM, working nine to five. But I wanted more, man,
I wanted. I wanted more. Was telling three to four hundred cars a
month. I had, Like, there's amazing staff, this's amazing culture.
We was the bullies on the block. You know, you couldn't with my
store. You know. I met Glenn Lundy. It's a long story,
but I met Glenn Lundy. Mister Benson bought a horse farm in Kentucky.
He had like a meeting with all the business owners in Kentucky, and Josh and Glenn was at that meeting. Mister Benson invited uh Glenn to a Saints
Geme. I was like their chaperone, you know, I like it.
I picked him up in the hotel, hung out with him, and then I met him, you know, and I realized, I thought, I was so this. I'm getting to a point. I didn't always have mentors
in my life because I thought I was young and you know the best.
And but I got to the point where I couldn't grow no more. You
know, I was, I was doing this, but I wanted to do more. Kind of like met Glenn and said, I'm selling three to four
hundred. They sell them eight hundred. You know, Okay, maybe there
is somebody better than me out there, you know. So I joke could
say I knew Glenn before he came out the closet, you know, because he was in the closet on the show. That's right. We've been friends
ever since then. You know, when it comes to the varib operations,
we could finish each other's sentences, you know, I have great respect for where he's built in a short period of time, and he definitely was an inspiration, you know, that job, but I was at for so long that I had like that was my family. I quit that job ninety days
later, you know, because I saw it more opportunity. So now at
this point in my life, the things that I'm trying to accomplish, I had to get better mentors, I had to get more people involved. So,
you know, I'm fortunate enough to be able to speak to Daniel de Gallo every now and then. A few messages back and forth. I shared
with her, Hey, this is what I want to do. She gives
me some the courage, you know, Alex Florez, you know, try him up. I came back from the last conference and then I said,
there's sixty people in here, and only two of you guys are going to be different by the next conference. So I wrote down to my piece of
paper February seven of our next conference for the eight hundred percent Club, and I wrote down some out landish things that I want to accomplish in the next one hundred and five days. Outlandish, open up two more used coore lots,
this, that, and and I sent that to like three or four people. Mentors Glenn Lunadi now Alex Flores. They say, I need you
guys to hope men accountable on this. I need to check out with me
every now and then to make sure I'm accomplishing this. And man, I'm
ready. I'm ready. You know. So mentors and people leading the way,
encouraging you, pouring into you. You know, I'm competitive as they
come. If I need somebody who's who's making ten times more than me,
there's nothing inside me that says that I can't do that. We know you're
enjoying the show so far. We just wanted to quickly remind you of out
our partners at fixed Ops Digital and how they are automotives premier service marketing and technology company not only proud sponsors of the Car Guy Coffee podcast, but they also served as your dedicated point of contact for all your online service marketing related needs servicing dealerships throughout the US and Canada. The mission is to create a

to me because I want to figure out a way to be right with that.
You know, we all serve the same God. We all have the
same uh. You know, we're all here, we have the same opportunity.
And if God him for them, God can do it for me.
So that's something that I get from from a mentorship. It's like, man,
Okay, he did it. Let me figure out how I can do
it, you know what I'm saying. So that's mentorship doesn't at this at
this point in my life is the most important thing because if I stop right now to successful use car loans, I'm making good money, you know, like whatever, you know, whatever I'm doing great, But man, I want it so much more. You know, talent hard work best talent and
talent don't work hard. Right, that's a saying. Everybody knows that,
um, But I like to say this, why does the bully take your lunch money? He don't take your lunch money because because he's hungry. He
just takes your lunch money because he can. So if you can in life,
you should. So if you can do more, if you can accomplish
more, if you can help more people, if you can if you can leave a positive impact on this earth, then you are you. You have
to you should. That's what God is giving you. That what is the
point of being a blessed being blessed and you're not blessing others, You're you're blessed to be a blessing. So the mentorship thing, and like I said,
it's helping me get there. And the more money I make, the
more things I do, the better I could leave my family, okay, because I won't have thirty forty years to accumulate wealth for them, but also the more people I could leave a positive impactful form, you know, And so the mentorship is important. They're helping me get to my ultimate goals.
That's so much to sip on with that, and there's so much that's valuable.
If you all got some value out of that, give them some love.
You have so many people that are that are sharing applause, and so many people are jumping in here no doubt, and really we're just we're just again humble to be in the room because there is so much value that you're pouring out. The bringing you to where it is that you are. We
still want to know the second line on the five liner with you. Bruce's
how did you get to the car business? Because you are a prodigy,
you know, I mean you really are a car guide prodigy. But what
brought you to the car business? Man? Was always a hustler. I
always at a job at fourteen years old making two hundred hours a week selling candy door to door, right, two hours a week cash at fourteen years old. Money, Yeah, so I was always a hustler. That was
a period of time in my life. I sold other things, but I
was always a hustler. I always, you know, had that gift for
gad my guess for people. You know, what do they say about the
mental image of yourself? Right The mental image of yourself in your head is
formed by what people say. Right, Well, people will always say,
man, Bruces a hustler. Bruce's got to get for gab. Bruce knows.
So, you know, as I was like going through life trying to figure out working in construction and this and that. Maybe on the way wedding
we got married, I need to get a real job. And one of
my cousins worked for a store as a receptionist. She's a little bit older.
She says, man, you remind me of those salespeople. You should
sell cars. So I was like, okay. So I answered the ad
and it was just like the best organization in the city. And they don't
hire retreads, they only hire rookies, and they have a three week training class and so so, so I begged. I begged for the job.
I'm a high school dropout, uneducated, rough around the edges. You know.
You might think I'm rough now, but boy, if you see me at twenty one, it was even worse. No nothing, no hirable trait,
no hirable trade. You wouldn't look at if I didn't check, no
box off. Okay, So they hired twenty something people in this class and
I had to I was like interviewed on the Monday. I didn't get a
call back Tuesday, so I called back. I got put sent the voicemail.
By Thursday afternoon, I had figured out how to navigate through the phone system to get past the gatekeeper and the training the hiring manager. The training
manager I got like to his direct line and he was shocked. He was
like, who's this said? This is the kid, you know, he
got you interview. He says, okay. I said, look, I
really and I was a persistent and then he's like, all right, man, just be here for nine o'clock Monday morning. I had like self defense.
He just like hired me and I get in this class and I had always sold and when they started teaching the class, it was like the light went off in my mind. I said, Man, I'm gonna do I'm
gonna be really good at this identify. I knew it, I understood it,
and and then the rest of history. I started at twenty one and
finance at twenty three. It's a finance manager, you know, never been
not been in management ever since. At like thirty, I was a used
card director for three stores at one time for Group one Automotive. Thirty two,
I was a general sales manager of a big number one Chevy store in the city, which ended up when I started there, there's something eighty five cars a month and we averaged three twenty five. We came first place in
the city, a very saturated five dealers within twenty twenty miles. So I
didn't know how to compete. You had to know how we came in first
place. Sixty three times out of seventy two months. Come on about me.
My nickname is the Stats because I know the stats. I can I
can tell you the history of store so and we built this amazing culture.
And at thirty nine there's a few other stops. But at thirty nine I
got recruited away to be a managing partner of two stores. That was a
crowning achievement for a car guy. High school dropout, you know, no
parents, No, my mom had me in fifteen, my dad committed suicide one when I was twenty five. I'm just out here on my own man,
just like glended, you know. And to get that opportunity, it
was amazing. I'm interviewing with this the giants of the car business in the
world, and he's like, yeah, I want to make you a managing partner of this Audie store, very prestigious store, and they owned a handy store as well. And I say, no, no, I'll take the
job. To be given me a Honday store too. How snoopid is that,
you know? And they thought about it for a couple of days.
They gave me both stores and we killed it for a whole year. The
pandemic hit and I can stop if y'all want. But that's how I got
it. Bro keep it coming, man, don't stop. Hey dealers,

on the same page. I like to do this with people in personnel.
They wanted to do these things. We just came at eyes on a lot
of stuff. And then exactly one year after I started, they let me
go. We had just had like an amazing month May of twenty twenty,
the first time that the prices and the you know, low supply hide demand was hidden. You know, it's been rolling ever since May of twenty twenty.
But we had this amazing month and they let me go. I had
hired forty people in the valuable operations of these two stores, and when I started, they had eight people combined in the two stores. I re stocked
the shelf with some of the most talented people in the car business. I
didn't know I signed him like a nine compete that I couldn't hire these people the way when they let me go, they knew that. But anyway,
so they let me go. Car business is rocking and rolling. I'm sitting
in my garage and a guy spoke to me, okay, here minding me of this store, that store, this store that, like four or five organizations that I placed everybody in key positions of those stores. I set the
culture, I set the tone. I talked to guys how to win for
five different stores in the city. And guy said, you're not gonna receive
a dollar this month from any one of those stores. And it dawned at
me like from that point in my life, man, whatever it takes, I'm owning something I'm not doing nothing, and it's like I had a piece of the pie. So the pandemics hidden. My cancer had just came back.
I had eighteen tumors in my stomach. My father in law was the
number eleven hundredth person in the United States of America to die. COVID w's
really affected my wife everything you could. I lost this job, crowning job,
sixty thousand dollars months job. I don't mind talking about money, so
if it defends people, I don't care. We people make money in this
business. And then they like took it from me, that crowning that she
even that I had worked my whole life for. But all those things were
material things, and maybe I was trusting in those things, those titles that paycheck, more than I was trusting in God. So boom, I'm sitting
there. I have nobody's really looking for a Bruce Miller. You know,
the car business is rocking and rolling. Um I enter view a few different
places. I couldn't get a job that I that I was. I thought
that I like when I come, when I come to your dealership, I bring the whole surface, the three rings, the bearded lady. I bring
the whole service. So I wanted to be compensated for my uh maybe got
like a you know, four hundred thousand year type job offer, right, and I turned that down. I leaned into God. I said, okay,
got you want me to own You want me to own something, let's go. I attempted to try to buy new car, a little small new
car franchises. Realized I didn't have nearly enough funny, so I said,
man, I'm gonna go open up an independent lot. There you go.
So I went into a few people that I knew, and I said, look, let me come work for you. I'll take ten grand a month.
I'm gonna bring systems, processes, I can add you some banks and um, but I'm gonna open up my own line. The two people that
I knew turned me down. They wouldn't they wouldn't, nervous or whatever,
and they turned me down. So I had to go to a stranger.
I'm a Christian, right, two Muslims. Two Muslims, and somebody introduced
me to the guys. They said cool. They treated me like family from
day one. And I just jumped into this independent lot and like not the
best neighborhood. I go from managing partner, executive manager, wearing suits every
day at an Houri store to work in a credit acceptance deal with somebody whose Social Security is their only social income. And all that time it was the
first day of the job. I'm premiliar with all that, but I just
it was taken back. So still get them done right, Still gonna get
them done. So again, many points in times in this journey, I
could have stopped and just went and just not not one of the cancers.
One of the tumors got really big, and I like, on September thirtieth, like that in two thousand, I like passed out, you know.
I was like, it was hurt me, so go to the emergency room that they have to take a tumor out right, So I got to this job. I'm not making enough money. I got kid two lane, two
kids in private school. Mortgage. I'm like, I'm using all my little
coffers for one kid. Pulled that out savings. Here, I'm making everyday
meet because, uh, making ends meet because I have faith that this is gonna pay off, you know. And now in a hospital tumor were coming
out, right. Who wants to who wants to partner or buy in or
you know what I'm saying, like I'm a gonna lowest point in my life, you know, But I stayed to the course, stay kend of faith.
You know. Six months later I told my partner, I said,
look, I'm going to open up my own news callt this is what I want to do now. He says, Man, just by stay stay partner
with me, help me manage things. I need your help. I want

Back to the show. Two years ago, I was in a hospit to
this day, right right now. Two years ago to this day, I
was in the hospital. I didn't own no businesses. I turned you know,
I was like this faith journey. One year ago I made a Facebook
post that I had the best single financial month of my career because I had these two used car lots. And then now you know, look, I
live a great lifestyle. I got a bunch of friends across the country.
I'm able to like, uh, do be me if I want to wear George's the word. I could wear George the work if I want to go.
So it's a it's an amazing journey. Now look now everybody's like,
oh, man, Bruce is killing It makes sense. But man, it
was many dark knights, yes, sir, Yes, sir, there were many dark knights that I could have turned around. Yes, sir, I
could have turned around. I could have like backed up. I could have
like not believed in God. But man, God was with me every step
of the way. Doors were being closed, Like, man, why this
man won't call me back and offer me this job? Because I did closed
that door. He closed all the doors. There was only one door that
I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna go be an independent dealer. You know,
and then a year into being an independent dealer, I like, you know, a lot of respect from independent dealers, you know, like like I'm doing doing my thing, and I transitioned from a franchise guy to independent dealer. The success never stopped. The store I went to, they was
selling eighteen cars a month ninety days into taking a job. Our average there
is forty five and grows and added all kinds of banks, and it's like a successful running used for lit my useful lot. We averaged about sixty eight
cars a month the last four months, you know, from scratch. One
year ago we had zero, zero inventory, zero banks. That's sick man,
huge. Yeah, there was so you know, so again my faith
was like tested, but but it was like an amazing journey and it still is an amazing journey. I'm saying, um, don't I have big goals.
I'll put this out to you. Said something earlier about the universe.
I want to own and operate ten used a lot of slash new car franchises.
I want to have ten, you know, that was the goal when I started this. That's what I put out there in the universe. I'll
tell anybody that you know, and when I tell people that they're like, man, he's crazy. Well, then all of a sudden, I got
too. Come on, you know what, I'll have four? Come on,
you know what I have six? You know so that's a long answer
to one simple question. But no, that's that is the kind of answer

Come on now back to the show. When there's opportunity, A lot of
times the things that's The hardest to do is the thing that is supposed is what you're supposed to do. We're supposed to go after it and get hard
on that thing and go all gas no brake man and crush it. Love.
That story came from this few years. It back because when I was
at Dissembling store, we opened three satellite USIC lines. Nobody would or anything
like that. And this is ten years ago. You know, ten years
ago, I didn't advertise a dollar in radio or TV. I went all
digital ten years ago. Ten years ago, I bought every single call from
I'm a Shagi store, I'm behind Hansa's keys, everything from Enterprise. I
was doing that. You know, there's always been like a thing of pushing
the paddle. So there's a few years ago there was this meme going around
like if this was a person, if stupidity was a person, and you show a picture of a stupid guy. You know, when somebody took a
picture of me and said if all gas no brakes was a person, you know kind of like from that moment, I'm like, when I've seen it, I said, this makes a lot of sense, and I understand that that's me. You know, so you talk about embracing like a phrase or
embracing or you know, well, look one last thing, that last thing.
But if you have prayed for something and you you you believe in God, and you believe in that prayer man, when the door opens, you gotta bust through the door. It's got to be an all gas, no
brakes mentality. So then why pray for it? Why I pray for it?
You know, why pretend like you believe if you're not willing to jump through the door. And that's what I did two years ago. I jumped
through the door. Don't worry. Solutionaries, This five under Blue has a
